1080/480 24p Advance Mode

The 1080 and 480 progressive recording systems convert 
recordings to 60i in 24p, 30p, or 24pA (Advance) mode. The 24p 
Advance mode uses 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which allows for an easy 
extraction to a 24p timeline and no quality loss in the process 
with NLEs that are compatible.* 
This lets you maintain superior image quality throughout the 
production process.

*For information on compatible nonlinear editing systems, visit 

<https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/> and click “Nonlinear Compatibility Information.” 

*24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p  and 60i = 59.94i

16:9/4:3 Aspect Ratio Conversion

The 16:9/4:3 Conversion mode can be used with SD-recorded 
images or SD output down-converted from HD playback. You can 
select from three modes: side crop, letterbox, and squeeze.

Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter

Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to 
create a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop motion sports action. 
The AG-HPX171 also features a synchro scan function that’s 
suitable for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.
